Your complaint with American health care does not address the fact that it is better than anywhere else in the world. You are changing the subject when you switch the discussion to price.<br /><br />The quality and availability of the US health care system is the reason why Canadians who can’t wait in a long line for their “free” health care come to the US for treatment.<br /><br />There is no “free” health care. There is no “free lunch.” You pay for what you get in one way or another. If you want to control costs you can put a cap on them, including wages for health care workers. That leads to fewer and lower quality workers. Or you can ration health care. That leads to waiting lists and the ultimate cost saver: death.<br /><br />Best,<br />MoneyrunnerMoneyrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940253500799383224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158917.post-68970102094983992372009-06-22T06:58:20.725-04:002009-06-22T06:58:20.725-04:00The finest?

Or do you love paying those hundreds of dollars each time you visit the hospital?<br /><br />Take care, ElliToronto Condoshttp://ellidavis.com/noreply@blogger.com
